How do I file a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)?

If you live in Pennsylvania and need to file a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for a whistleblower law violation, you will need to fill out the complaint form. You can find the form on the Department of Labor website or request a copy by calling the OSHA toll-free number (1-800-321-6742). When filling out the complaint form, you should include the name and location of your employer, a description of the law that you believe was violated, and any other relevant information that helps explain the violation. You may also include any information that will help support your claim, such as pictures or documents that show the violation. Once you have completed the form, you should submit it to the nearest OSHA office. OSHA may then call you to answer specific questions about your complaint. After OSHA has received all the necessary information, they will investigate the alleged violation and take appropriate action. If you feel that your employer has retaliated against you for filing the complaint, you can submit a separate form to OSHA. This form should include the details of the retaliation and the date that it took place. OSHA will investigate the retaliation and take appropriate action. If you have any questions regarding your complaint or the process of filing a complaint, you can contact OSHA’s Whistleblower Protection Program office toll-free at 1-800-767-1833.
